  • Edna on John 6:53 - 2 years ago
    Why were the disciples offended to the point of abandoning Jesus when he said "eat my flesh and drink my blood" ,if it was only a symbol? When Jesus says it again he says it more strongly not less. He doesn't say it's a symbol. He says "Eat/gnaw on my flesh". Seems like the Jews/disciples were completely grossed out and scandalized and though they had seen all Jesus's miracles ,chose to abandon him.
  • Philip Christian Parks on Numbers 21 - 2 years ago
    Re. Numbers 21:6 = And the LORD sent fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the people; and much people of Israel died.

    The descriptive word "fiery" implies these "serpents" were far more sinister than the common venomous snake indigenous to the area. These were very out-of-the-ordinary serpents indeed.

    Did The LORD especially prepare these "fiery serpents", much like when HE caused the "great fish" to swallow Jonah? Both events describe The LORD's punitive discipline.

    Of note, the great fish did not swallow Jonah out of mere opportunity simply because it was in Jonah's immediate proximity. Rather, "The LORD prepared a great fish to swallow up Jonah" ( Jon. 1:17). The "great fish" and Jonah were put there together by DIVINE Appointment because GOD put them there in precisely the same vicinity, and at precisely the same time.

    In like manner, these "fiery serpents" did not invade the camp of the Israelites by happenstance of their own accord, for "The LORD sent [them] among the people" (v.6).

    If the word "fiery" qualifies the bite of these serpents as exceedingly severe beyond the norm, then these were out-of-the-ordinary serpents indeed. This implies these serpents were not of the type the Israelites would have ordinarily encountered during their trek across the wilderness.

    Moreover, the "fiery serpent of brass" which Moses manufactured and erected upon a pole (v.8) more likely represented their fiery visual appearance rather than the severity of their bite.

    The early Church began to fragment as Paul said i hear there is divisions among you . lie not to one another . And Micah 5 says he will give them Up Till SHE that is in travail has given birth which is the woman in travail and birth Pains in Rev 12 : 5 kjv. AFTER THE BOOK IS OPENED Then the remnant of his brethren shall return to the Children of Israel . Have not i told ya a zillion times that Elijah has to come and turn the hearts of the Fathers to the Children ( what Children ? ( the babes and the sucklings Jesus wd mentions at times ) Remember Isaiah 11 speaks of the babes and the sucklings in his Holy Mountain @ his 2 nd coming thats when the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord as the waters that cover the seas @ the 2 nd coming. Jesus made it very plain when he said I am the light of the world but the nite comes when noman can work. There has been a 2000 yr intermission, of darkness spritually speaking and the day of the Lord can not come till there 1st come a great falling away. As David said lover and friend has thou put far from me and my aquaintence into Darkness . Just like there was a 2 day intermission in his life there is also a 2 day intermission in his death Are not the 2000 swine that were lost symbolic of a 2000 yrs lost in the river of time . Rivers are like Times gone by ,Times present and times to come . But Paul said after my death shall grivious wolves enter there in not sparing the FLOCK.

  • Jane Zammit on Mark 13:18 - 2 years ago
    A large herd of pigs was feeding on the nearby hillside. 12 The demons begged Jesus, "Send us among the pigs; allow us to go into them." 13 He gave them permission, and the impure spirits came out and went into the pigs. The herd, about two thousand in number, rushed down the steep bank into the lake and were drowned.

    I cannot understand this verse. If the demons are spirits; how can they drown by just entering the pigs?

  • GRACE_ambassador {ChrisE} water baptism? - 2 years ago
    Precious friend, Adam: Is water baptism for us today, Under GRACE? You say about us who 'found an answer of NO,' According To The Scriptures:

    "Finally, there's always someone trying to discredit baptism as if they have a force telling them its bad or as if they're afraid of it, or have some kind of personal animosity against it, or fear of public embarrassment? I think this reaction to a direct instruction from Jesus is a noteworthy reaction in itself.

    Acts 2:38 - this verse is all I need to see in the Bible. People can use lots of words, can twist things, can use unlimited anecdotes, but none of it matters, because I read Acts 2:38

    and I know exactly what it says and since I'm serious about following Jesus I was baptized."

    Kind of an unfair statement, is it not, about those of us saved by GRACE Through faith?

    1) Which rule of hermeneutics says to build God's Sound Doctrine on 'ONLY one verse'?

    2) I believe Scripture says The Holy Spirit is our Blessed Teacher, not 'some force telling us it bad'.

    3) We are not 'afraid of it, or have any animosity toward it' IF God Commands it to be practiced today, Under GRACE.

    4) IF we studied ALL THIRTEEN Bible baptisms, prayerfully and Carefully, According To all of God's Bible "study" Rules: Link

    how is it that we 'Cannot Conclude' That God ONLY 'Has ONE (Spiritual) Baptism' Today, Under GRACE, as per Ephesians 4:5, or should we 'practice Bad Math' and ADD water, men saying TWO, When God Says 'ONE'?

    IF This ONE 'Spiritual' Baptism 1 Corinthians 12:13 Is God's OPERATION, THEN why is it not

    Scriptural To 'believe' "God Says There is 'NO' water baptism" Today, Under HIS Pure GRACE?

    We have Several More Questions for water adherents today, IF they wish to lovingly dialogue with us...

    Please, Precious friends, Be Richly Encouraged In God's Word Of Truth, Rightly Divided 2 Timothy 2:15 = Ends All 'Confusion'?

    Grace, Peace, Mercy, And Love...

  • English Sacha - 2 years ago
    Hi every one . Any one who has any doubts about the validity of water baptism today , PLEASE read Acts Ch 8 very carefully . In V 16&17 we see that the Holy Spirit was given by the act of laying on of hands by the apostles , a separate thing to water baptism . Also in V 26 we see that the Spirit expressly sent Philip to a certain place with the only purpose to baptize some one by full emersion in water , I say it again ! Philip was sent by the Spirit , to a specific place in order to baptize some one by full immersion in water ! The whole chapter is very clear and how any one can disregard what it is teaching us , me and you , is beyond me . Faith without works ? We express our faith by doing what we are told to do by God through His messengers . Read this chapter carefully pleeeeease .
  • James Hops on Song of Solomon 5 - 2 years ago
    Could you provide me with the Hebrew transliteration of Song of Solomon Ch 5 V 16? I was listening to it the other day and I did not hear the words that are presented here as translation.

    Who is chapter 5 talking about in such praise as is apparent in verses 9 - 16?

    Best regards,

  • Cynthia on Numbers 14 - 2 years ago
    Is there scripture in the Bible that talks about drug use and people who choose them and get addicted to them like (Meth). ? Or, people who can't get away from the addiction and all the evil that follows? Or people who know God, and became addicted? This is in regards to a 32 year old who was raised Christian. Or even more helpful ..Family that continue to help and rescue him and divisions this causes. Thank you!

    Hi Name it I believe you have missed the boat on the context of scripture here, also God has called both men and women to believe within His order there is nothing wrong with sharing opinion and heart for Gods Word.

  • GiGi again on Genesis 33:12 - 2 years ago
    ...Jacob needed to follow God's way without outside influence. He traveled southwest to Succoth and built a residence there with shelters for his animals. This indicates he settled there for a time. Some time later, he crossed the Jordan, due east, to Shechem. He was now in Canaan. He built a residence there and bought this land form the family of Hamor. It was near the city. He built an altar there. In all of this time, these 20 years, God had kept Jacob safe in his journeys, blessed him with success in his endeavors and with wealth. He had guided him to Haran to the fields of Laban. He had secured Jacob both Leah and Rachel for wives, blessed him with 11 sons and a daughter, an amicable departure from Laban, and night of wrestling with God, a new name, and a peaceful reunion with his brother. Was Jacob now ready to call God by the name of God of Israel? Yes, he was. El Elohe Israel means: "God, the God of Israel". Jacob now accepted the True God as his God, the God of Israel, completing the process that began in Bethel and the dream/vision of the ladder to heaven. God proved Himself to Jacob, drawing Jacob to put his faith in Him. That took 20 years.
  • Hafford E.Cook. on Matthew 3:2 - 2 years ago
    Jesus was baptized in Matthew 3:11 thru 17. He said it must be done to fulfill "all righteousness."

    The apostle Paul was baptized in Acts 9:6 thru 17! It says in verse 6 that he (Paul) would be told what he MUST do.

    In 1st Peter 3:21 the scriptures say "baptism doth also now save us....it is the answer of a good conscience toward God."

    Why does mankind delibertly refuse to accept baptism as necessary to have their sins forgiven?
  • GiGi again on Genesis 32 - 2 years ago
    ....He is in need of God's help. In this instance, instead of God initiating the interaction by appearing to him and speaking to him first, Jacob calls on God in prayer for help in facing a perceived adversary. He has realized the he does not need to wait on God to show up, but he can go straight to God and get a response. This is a challenge of his faith, "will God answer my prayer?"

    I noticed that Jacob was willing to stay all night in camp seeking God's help even though his family has gone ahead. So by morning, his family is 8+ hours ahead of him. And, as a result of the wrestling match, he has a limp from where God touched his thigh. He will be walking more slowly for the rest of his life. He will be constantly reminded of the night of wrestling with God. He will always know that God is stronger than him. He will also know that God is with him adn only a prayer away.
  • GiGi on Genesis 32 - 2 years ago
    Jacob has been traveling south along the east side of the Jordan river. As he approaches the land of Seir (Edom) where Esau lives, Jacob considers what may become of meeting up with Esau after all of these 20 years. Although Jacob holds no animosity towards Esau, he figures Esau is probably still angry with him, perhaps remembering how Esau was when they grew up together for 40 years. Jacob's group was very large. He wanted to make sure that Esau knew that they are a peaceful group, not hostile or warriors. He also wanted Esau to know who he was. This gives time for both of them to prepare for a meeting. Jacob is anticipating problems, so he sends droves of livestock ahead with servants to give to Esau as a gift, hoping to soften Esau's demeaner toward Jacob and his family. That final night, after the livestock are on their way, he send his wives and children.

    I have always wondered why he sent family ahead of him. Did he think Esau would see his family members and feel family affection? Did he send them away so he could be alone with God in prayer? The night Jacob wrestles with a strong man all night. Perhaps this can be likened to persevering in prayer until one gets an answer. I wonder at what point Jacob realized he was wrestling with God and not a human adversary? By the morning neither had prevailed over the other. Jacob would not stop wresting God until God blessed him. God did, changing his name from Jacob to Israel which does indicate a change in character for him. Now he would be a prince among men. At the end of the encounter, he asks God to tell him His name and God does not grant His request. I wonder why? Maybe Israel was not yet ready to know God by Name yet.

    It is interesting that when he prayed to God before this event that Jacob admits his need for God's help an that any blessing he has received is undeserved and he is unworthy of being so blessed. He is humbled and finally realizing he is not the force or strength behind his successes.
  • GiGi again on Genesis 31 - 2 years ago
    .......explaining she is having her monthly period, Jacob pretty much lights in to Laban, recounting how Laban did not treat him in good faith and Jacob had not done Laban wrong all these 20 years., recounting how well the flocks have prospered under his shepherding. He attests that God, who was his grandfather's God and his father's God (the Fear of Isaac is a name for God) has been with him none of that would have happened. He didn't claim God as his own at this time.

    Then Laban has his turn at speaking to Jacob, claiming that the wives and children belong to him, along with the flock. he is unwilling to let go and keep his end of the bargain. He obviously wanted Jacob to stay in Haran and keep his family near him, though he had other sons. So Laban suggests a covenant. Laban seems to make the terms of the covenant, having Jacob vow to treat his wives well and not add any wives. Then he vows that the pillar will be a boundary that neither will cross to harm the other. He calls God, (Abraham's, Naho's, and Terah) to be the judge or witness between them. Jacob swears by the same God as Laban (the Fear of Isaac, by name) Jacob offers a sacrifice to God (makes me wonder why Laban had household idols?) The share a meal, that evening and part ways in the morning on good terms.

    After hearing Jacob's words to him, perhaps Laban realized that he had mistreated Jacob and therefore relented. Or maybe Jacob's sons were much older and stronger than Laban's sons, and he assessed the situation and made the wise choice to let Jacob leave. Maybe, having heard from God, Laban was beginning a journey with the True God then.

    So, we shall see how the rest of the story turns out. I'm curious about the idols Rachel stole and kept hidden from Jacob?

    Baptism....

    How does the Bible teach to get Baptized?

    An unbeliver baptized a believer,is that Biblical? I don't go for the springling of water I believe the Bible teaches Jesus and many others were Baptized in water,. Read about the Lord's Baptism it says; and he came up out of the water.... Yes water does not change anything,but it's a symbol of death and resurrection,the old man being buried and the new man being raised to a new life.

    Lord Jesus help us as ambassadors for Christ to represent the pure Gospel,and not mixed in opinion.

    Many Believers say; does it really matter how Baptism is done?......

    In the verse: And these,

    1 Cor. 5:11

    "But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat."

    Why is the word "no" not spelled "know"?

    IRAN had several large earthquakes today; like almost a 7. Wonder if it sets back their Nuke production?

    I do not know why, but last night I searched YouTube about "this Mahdi" that the Palestinians talk about.

    They pretty much say the same thing in every video. The Mahdi is the resurrected spirit of an ancient king? Who supposedly becomes Antichrist? They speak English just fine.

    They never say Jesus's name but they talk around him. They're discussing His return. I have a bad feeling about that 85 billion in military equipment Biden left behind so he could just frustrate Donald Trump.

    Then they put first, fighting against other Palestinians Groups FIRST. It sounded like the plan to unite 3 groups to March on Jerusalem?

    Then I wonder if they're posting this on YouTube to distract the real purpose? Are they contacting the Palestinians that Biden just allowed to sneak over here on the Afghanistan exodus? I don't see Biden keeping anybody informed on this do you?

    Are we going see violence from this? Like mall bombs etc. I hope not.

    Jesus could return any time. You might look at the prophesy lectures (the one that's over 2 hours) on GEVTE (YouTube)

    Hello all . Don't know if you are aware but there has been a climate conference in the city of Glasgow in Scotland very recently . I don't know if human activity is responsible for the rise in the earths temperature or not , but I know that God knew all about this from the begining ,2nd Peter Ch 3 , V 10-12 and especially Rev Ch 16 , V 9 : And men were scorched with great heat , and blasphemed the name of God , which hath power over these plagues : and they repented not to give Him the glory . I take this to mean that : men blasphemed God by denying that He has the power over all of His creation , to cause or stop this heat , and they (we) don't repent of their sinfullness and acknowledge Him and His power over all of His creation . Men refuse to acknowledge the power of God and instead go to Glasgow and make a great show of deciding how they are going to sort it out themselves . My Grandma had a saying : what makes God laugh ? When we tell Him our plans .

    2000 years after the events of the New Testament, there are still communities that follow the teachings found in the Old and New Testaments of the Bible. Why do you think the teachings found with the Bible have been preserved for so long?
